It's really sad we need to look for journalism alternatives from other countries to find something without a kiss-the-ass-of-fascism-infused lens.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil as law enforcement against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. So don’t say “I didn’t vote for this,” because you did. This isn’t a response. This was always their plan.

Early July 2024 Biden blasts Project 2025 in Michigan and ties it to Trump— admonishes press to not forget it either… and yet, all the press & pundits could talk about was “Joe old”

LA Mayor Karen Bass said in a press conference that the most important thing is that the city be peaceful, while LAPD mounted police deploy flash-bang grenades and gas cannisters. National Guard troops have not left the federal building area.

Nothing like getting sanctimonious law and order lectures from Republicans who refused to vote convict Trump after 1/6.

It isn’t true. People who want a buffet of obscure ideologies don’t lack for options here. People who are seeking connections to state power and mainstream celebrity through social media, on the other hand, will probably still prefer twitter.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Stephen Miller is REALLY panicked that libertarians (along with Rand, Tom Massie, and he's calling out CATO) are pointing out how excessive border funding in the Big Ugly is.

So I did some million pond shithammer commonsense on my Substack. Ketamine and Epstein— how it affects you, national security & a clickbait addicted press… maybe the press shouldn’t be re-litigating Biden, huh? Maybe drug addicts shouldn’t be accessing your data? open.substack.com/pub/denverri...

Going to do a Substack Live in 6-8 minutes on Epstein and Ketamine and how national security and media integrity are in the most dire positions. What’s the cascading effect and doesn’t this make the post-era Biden “age” reporting and book writing horrifically unserious?

The letter below from Newsom’s legal secretary to Hegseth reads the statute Trump invoked to require Newsom’s approval. This is a very plausible reading of the statute. Whether SCOTUS will agree, should it come to that (and it very well might not) is another question.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Just want to shout out the reporters and photojournalists of the @latimes.com. They have a shitty owner, and as a result there are far fewer of them than a few years before, but on this story, as with the fires, they are giving it their all.

Now more than ever, read this piece. What Terry Moran said is not "opinion" its well reported fact.

YES. It is a waste of our time to be sharing opinions with people who agree with you. In an era of fascism, we have to use our time efficiently - we need facts, strategies, tactics. Why the flight to substack punditry is so annoying/wasteful.

the trump movement has inculcated a genuinely rotten contempt for life in our collective political life and the real challenge will be extirpating it in favor of life-affirming solidarity youtu.be/Em6hb2Mg0XA?...

Trump wants a summer before the 2026 elections of urban violence to activate Americans to support his fascist movement. It's all part of the plan. #ICE #LosAngeles

@bestese34.bsky.social's post about #StephenMiller was excellent journalistic analysis. For @abc7.bsky.social (sorry, only ABC entity here) to ACT AGAINST HIM shows that #ABC is the equivalent of Germany's Hitler-era media, the media of Orban's Hungary. #ABC is not the journalism of a democracy.
